The full quotation is elegant:

I have sworn upon the altar of God Eternal, hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.

Jefferson spoke/wrote frequently about tyranny. Here are a few more quotations:

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive.

A well informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny. (My personal fave)

Does the government fear us? Or do we fear the government? When the people fear the government, tyranny has found victory. The federal government is our servant, not our master!

Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

We are not to expect to be translated from despotism to liberty in a featherbed.

The most effectual means of preventing the perversion of power into tyranny are to illuminate, as far as practicable, the minds of the people at large, and more especially to give them knowledge of those facts which history exhibits, that possessed thereby of the experience of other ages and countries, they may be enabled to know ambition under all its shapes, and prompt to exert their natural powers to defeat its purposes.

Rebellion to tyranny is obedience to God.

The time to guard against corruption and tyranny is before they shall have gotten hold of us. It is better to keep the wolf out of the fold, than to trust to drawing his teeth and talons after he shall have entered.

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.

This was NEVER about a virus. It was ALL ABOUT the upcoming ELECTION.
